Becoming a resident of an Encore retirement and assisted living community is easy. Our trained, caring staff will guide you through the process and gladly answer your questions. Family members are welcome to participate and there are Social Service Professionals who are also available to offer special assistance. The process involves the following steps:

The Interview
It is important that each potential resident receive a personal and private interview. This step helps us determine what type of living options and services you require and match them to the services we offer.

Physician's Report
We require your physician complete a medical report regarding the status of your current health for our assisted living options. We are happy to coordinate the process with your doctor to ensure a smooth transition in meeting your individual health care needs.

Financial Assessment
We will confidentially discuss with you the financial aspects of becoming a resident of Encore Communities. Rates are established on a month to month basis and vary depending on location, apartment style, and level of personal and health care services required.
